Mine would be weather man/woman. You work in very short intervals -- 2 or 3 minutes -- you get paid and get on TV. Best part -- you keep your job even if you are wrong 85% of the time.

    To work with fabulous, positive upbeat people who love what they do. Work with animals every day. Do surgery all day long. Have supportive upper management... oh wait. I already have this job! :bigsmile: I'm so blessed!

    I'd love to sell my jewelry and art for a living!
  • When I start my next career (in about two years), I hope to have a job where I work a couple weeks then have a couple weeks off. Throw in some travel and only be responsible for myself and the task I've been assigned. Not so important as to what it is, or how much it pays, but it must be interesting.

    Thinking outside the box, my future career might be

    -an international courier
    -being a Rep for an interesting product, particularly if it involves travel
    -be involved in the delivery of _________ (yachts?, cars? anything that is legal)
    -being eyes/ears for a sports team or sports promoter
    -high end 'go-fer'
    -the go to, git'r done, special assitant or special project guy

    Yes, I'm tired of being responsible for other people as I am in my present career!

    Resume available upon request.

    I love my current job as a technical writer. The only way it would be better would be if I could get paid to sing.

    LOL nice, OP!

    I was talking to my boyfriend about this today actually! Funny this thread popped up when it did! I'd love to own my own bistro cafe and sell my own as well as other local artists art (paintings, ceramics, glass, jewelry, etc..) while serving local and organic vegetarian foods. I'm a pescatarian, but love cooking veg dishes and making recipes my own and much healthier. I'm also great with an espresso machine!

    I am living it: business broker - equity liquidation.
    This is my dream profession, because I can work 10 hours per week, play 60 hours and never have to take any crap off anybody.
    LOVE THAT!

    Ideal? work at a marine life rescue/ rehabilitation.
    I'm going to school now to be an elementary school teacher and eventually a special education teacher, and after THAT, a college professor.
    I think i'll enjoy that just as much :)

    Philanthropist. Giving away money (because you have more than you'll ever need) would be great.

    I'm a pilot. It's okay, I don't mind going to work. I tell people it's a good job in a bad industry.

    I would love to be a successful interior designer! Or an artist if that meant I was suddenly great at art. More realistically, a preschool or kindergarten teacher... which is what I'm going to school for so that should be me in about 2 years!

    "Ideal job" suggests something that works for me. That would be anything that paid a LOT, with minimal work involved.

    "Dream job" for me is anything in the entertainment industry. I always wanted to be an actress or something having to do with the production of films (was in all of the high school theatrical performances both behind the scenes and on stage).

    "Real job" - I'm a Hygiene Assistant sprinkled with being a Dental Assistant/Receptionist. Guess there isn't a high demand for 42-year-old women with five kids who live in an Ohio suburb:brokenheart:
